Class Time : approximately 1 hour

Lab Time : to fill in remainder of scheduled event

Class will begin with a short discussion on the following : how to negotiate a rope scene; consent (including underlying power dynamics stated or implied); safety issues and how to handle them (both casually and in an emergency); physical issues and nerve/circulation information specific to tying.

This class will dig into the more formal/traditional Japanese style three rope TK, breaking down each rope and their placement and uses, and how they work together to create this harness.

Lab time afterwards will be available for attendees to practice, ask questions, and get feedback/pointers as needed. Ideally, everyone will leave the event with at least a basic understanding of the class materials.
